The JS2 range which was the John Sydney has brand has now been amalgamated into the Bristan brand, The John Sydney Brassware has always been a separate entity to Bristan but now that Bristan have moved into their new premises they have decided to move the best selling range to be part of the main bristan product ranges, this now means that non displaying outlets can supply the product to the retail market directly, the retail prices have not changed and the JS2 range has not been extended but the high quality product is now available to everyone and I would suspect at reduced selling prices through merchants locally.
Js2 Monobloc basin mixer RRP £290.00

If you want to find reasons to go for a long weekend in Italy Bologna to be precise, look no further than Cersaie 2008 the Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings, In fashion we have had New York – London – Milan, well following Milan why not Bologna its the Gastronomic capital of Italy, The city of red tiled roofs, walk ways, markets and beautiful people, so lets take a sneak preview to whet your lips.
Verso By Catalano have long since been involved in the bathroom supply market in the UK first through Bathstore but have since moved away to independent retail outlets and there quality and design has always been outstanding, bathstore in a cutting costs excercise no longer deal with the sanitary giants and I feel have now lost the edge in bringing in lesser quality products, this new range is another step forward for Catolano and is a huge range that is bound to be a show stopper.
Cut by Tre Emme Rubinetterie is certainly different, This year we have had square spout round body round spout square body, Well the Cut monobloc basin mixer is just different from all the others and is designed with the young in mind, Designer Giancarlo Vegni has really extended himself this time and I am sure this range if it gets to the UK shores will be a big hit.
Cangas washbasin by Ceramica Tecla this double basin will fit into a smaller bathroom it is only 120cm wide and has a projection of 45.5cm compact and neat, With the Wenge cabinet is just right for that his and hers modern bathroom, This basin is an addition to the existing range and is not yet available in the UK, I would not be surprised to see this in a bathroom shop soon.
Cesaie 2008 Bologna…..well worth a visit. “Ciao for now”
Italians have long been Known for there designs and style well this bath has looks and is inovative in its design, The Fly bath could literaly be suspended in the air it is decribed in the brochure as a pure volume, suspended in the void. A bathtub characterized by a cleanliness of form and design which, thanks to a special base, seems to be floating as if by magic. It can be placed in the center of the room, along a wall or integrated into a niche. Just like the basin that goes with it.
The bath tub and Basins are made of Pietraluce®, a high quality material similar to ceramic but resistant to chemical agents and aging.
